Live and learn!!! I just wanted to use the 4X2X2 foot box for next years outdoors starts...I have however invested enough in this cheap CFL attempt to buy a great 600watt set-up off FleaBay. Startinging with plywood and studs and 20 plus assorted 2700K, 5000K and 6500K bulbs and splitters and timers and chain and so on and so on. I figure I have 400 watts in there now.

Well I germed my 5 Master Kush fems and it looks like all may even make it. I really only wanted four anyway. They have not even gotten under way and I know I need a bigger boat/box. Should have gone 4X4X4 ft to have given myself a little room. Messin around in there is already a PIA.

I'm also using my own carefully made and nurtured compost/soil. I thought my hot compost cooking killed most of the seeds and bugs but when I opened my box a whole bunch of critters flew out. My use a bit of pyrethrin(sp) it's early in the "grow" and it's as natural as Mums.

Well WTH. I can grow outdoors but lets see if I can bang off one small crop of loose fluffy buds just for the ^$&* of it.

Any advise is welcomed and I don't mind harsh comments either. One question though. Does it matter if CFL's touch while fired up? They seem pretty tough. Thanks guys and gals..
